Surely one of the finest modern country houses in Angus.
Woodville must surely be one of the finest country houses in Angus. It is an outstanding and substantial home, occupying an enviable position with lovely south facing views towards Fife. Built in 2004 / 2005, it was designed by the renowned and award winning architect, Heinz Voight, to make the most of its stunning position. Externally it is a striking mixture of stone, harl and slate, with turrets giving it a very Scottish vernacular feel, yet it is a thoroughly modern home. Internally the house is beautifully presented and well designed. Photographs and virtual tours will not do this house full justice, as it is a masterpiece of construction, with luxurious and generous living space, and is situated in beautiful surroundings. The utmost attention has been paid to each and every aspect of this exceptional property.
Throughout the house, there is meticulous attention to detail, particularly to the wood used for the finishes, which includes hand selected American walnut flooring in the drawing room and dining room, red oak facings and doors and a David L Douglas handcrafted bespoke walnut kitchen. The double glazed windows are mahogany framed and laminated in oak internally, and the house and cottage benefit from underfloor heating throughout. Both are well insulated and the house also has a heat recovery system. In addition the house has a Dynalite smart lighting system, while plaster cornices give the house a very traditional feel. There is an integrated music system with remote control in the reception rooms, kitchen and principal bedrooms, as well as outdoor speakers in the garden. High quality sanitary fittings include those from Laufen Alessi and the Duravit Philippe Starck ranges, with rooms having their own lighting and temperature settings, as well as some Hansgrohe Axor taps, and fitted bespoke furniture units including some by Bentleys of Dundee. The overall effect is extraordinarily impressive.
At the front of the house, as well as an outer hall and cloakroom, are two stunning and interlinking reception rooms arranged off a remarkable hall, creating a fantastic entertaining space. Yet the heart of the house is very much the spacious and well equipped open plan kitchen and living room. Off this is a fine study as well as a useful utility room and WC. A magnificent oak staircase leads up to the first floor, where as well as a very fine principal bedroom suite, there are two further en suite bedrooms with dressing rooms, and two additional bedrooms, which are serviced by their own splendid bathroom. There is attached garaging and car ports and a linked cottage beyond, which can be used for overflow accommodation, as an annexe for staff or for holiday letting. Woodville is a fantastic example of a house that is ideal for both lavish entertaining and also for modern family living. The house is imaginatively linked to its own gardens and grounds, extending to some 7.52 acres of gardens, pond and woods. With much of the parking being at the rear of the house, the views are uninterrupted.
Situated in Parklands of Murroes, which is a group of just four bespoke houses, all with extensive grounds, Woodville is a house which is finished and presented to the highest of standards. At the same time it is very conveniently located, being extremely accessible to Dundee train station and airport, as well as to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen airports.
